Coprright, 1922. ‘ PARIS, May 27.—The German repa- rations problem continues In sus. pense. It {s the most serious matter engrossing the attention of Europe today. It is certain, however, that there will be no sensational develop- ments on May 31. This, of course, I8 because that date is not the final jmoment either for execution or payment, as has been erroneously suggested in certain quarters, but {simply the time limit within which Germany must announce her accept- ance of her obligations. All that Germany need do, therefore, fs to put signature to paper before them, and it is probable that an agreement on the text of the reply will have been ireached by the German officials by jthat time. This does not mean that promises made will be fulfilled or payments will be effected. And what interests France and the French public is not what Germany will promise, but what she will fulfill, Whole Policy Debated. After six weeks of idleness pariia- ment reconvened and initiated a de- bate of the whole foreign policy. On account of the recent elections to the local legislative bodies—consells gen eraux—with their significunt changes in political complexion, many of the members were more engrossed in do- mestic affairs than in foreign. The general view is that France came through Genoa without serious loss. Nobody pretends that we played & brilliant nor predominant role. It is confessed that we missed the op- portunity to take the leadership against the soviets on the private property question. The Hague meet- ing next month is envisaged with dis- favor, but altogether the majority in Parliament is ready to wipe the slate clean and think of something el: The Poincare government profits by this attitude. Internal Policy Setback. As for Internal politics, the depart- mental elections show a slight but unmistakable setback for the policy Which triumphed at the parliamen- tary elections in 1919. The so-called left parties, consisting of the im- moral alliance between the radical socialists, liberal anti-clerical and communists, gained some seats. The majority can find a useful warning in this; but still more, they can find cause for complaint against the gov- ernmont, which, under the pretext of political neutrality, gave free reign to the state officials throughout France. These men, who Were ap- pointed before the war, when the radical socialists were in power, used the opportunity to exercise improper pressure at the polls. This action has {made the majority in the chamber decidedly angry and it may cause serious trouble for Poincare in June. At the bottom, whether in foreign or domestic affairs, the real struggle is between the old personnel and old methods, on the one side, and the younger' generation, which' is work- ing with me and is tired of the monotonous routine to which France has succumbed since the Clemenceau overnment resigned. In all likeli- Bood the younger group will take the helm before the parliamentary elec- tions in April, 1924, and probably as early as the beginning of 1923. Un- less this happens the sterile delays of recent months would result in a strong shift of opinion tqward the bloc des gauches. I, myself, believe the latter change can be avoided and will be. < PANESE LA LS. DPLOWACY iAmerica on Pinnacle of Pow- er as Leading Nation, En- voy at Berlin Declares.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 27—Barry Baxter, who died today in New York, attract- ed considerable attention while play- ing here in “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife,” because of his close acquain- tance with the family of Mary Lan- don Baker, who postponed her wed- ding to Allister McCormick after the guests had assembled at the church. At that time Mr. Baxter was one of the few friends who were permit- ted to see Miss Baker, who was said ts. be near a nervous breakdown. | Following the postponement oé-;ha edding he accompanfed Miss Baker o ‘meny luncheons and enteriain- ments and was almost constantly in her company. When she went to California he escorted her to a train and met her when she came back.

Chen Chiung-Ming, the south China mili- tary leader, is demanding that Sun Yat Sen resign from the presidency of the South China government at Canton, it was reliably reported here today.

At the' military headquarters at Waichow, in the northern part of the province of Kwangtung, it is freely admitted that the situation is serious although Gen.

Wu Pei-Fu, who holds the military upper band fn the north, and that the recent estrangement of the southern general and President Sun is permanent. This | opinion aléo is expressed by a number | of Chinese, who believe a clash will oceur s500n unless Sun Yat Sen is will- ing to efface himself.
